Set of links for terms and conditions, policies, etc

[dharrison]

Hi

Thanx for all your recent help reference customising the templates for our new site.

I would be very grateful if you could advise me: My customer before had all of his policies as a row of textual links at the bottom of his page before. Please advise how I go about setting the links up. All Actinic navigation seems to consists of buttons.

Also my customer has terms and conditions, refund policy and privacy policy. But, as his work involves children, he also has a child protection policy, which he must include in the site for his potential customers to view for general "piece of mind".

Any help will be gratefully received.

Many thanks and best regards

Debbie

You can set up the Child Protection Policy as a new brochure page and add the desired text into that.

Links at the bottom of the page to the T&C, Child Protection Policy etc can easily be added to the bottom of the Act_Primary.html template found in the root of the site1 folder. Add the code based on the following into the HTML of that template:

<a href="http://www.site.com/acatalog/info.html">Terms and Conditions</a>

You can find the relevent page names eg "info.html" by navigating to the page on the internet or for brochure pages click on the brochure page in the content tree and you will find it there. Note everything other than the homepage is lumped into the /acatalog/ folder on the server.

Whilst adding to the page foot best to add in a link through to the site map which is at "sitemap.html"

Best to take a copy of Act_Primary.html before starting and you will need to also add the HTML links into Act_PrimaryCheckout.html and Act_BrochurePrimary.html to get the same navigation on to the cart and brochure page areas.

Thanx again Jont and hope you had a nice thanksgiving

How can you view the shopping cart at any time? At the moment if you navigate away from the shopping cart, the only way back in, is via another purchase. It is easy to remove something from the shopping cart, if added in error, but IMHO the cart contents should really be more accessible.

Also, as my client is a sports photographer for events, if he has, say 200-300 images I have managed to set up sub-sections for each page so they can be viewed as a thumbnail. However, at the moment this just shows a list. Is there anyway this can how the images like a gallery going across ? (I am not expecting to show all 200 images in 1 section - that would be ridiculous!)

Please advise asap.
Thanx and best regards

Errr ... Is anyone out there !?!?

[jont]

You can link to the cart using

href="http://www.site.com/cgi-bin/ca00000n.pl?ACTION=SHOWCART"

where n is the script id in your network setup...... usually a 1

Check the AUG but from memory sure that NAVBCART in the template will also take you to the cart.

Where are you wanting to show the thumbs across the page? At the section level? If so you can set the number of columns in Design | Options | Sections Default Location of Section Lists and set the first and subsequent row counts there.

For picture galleries I have seen some very good use of CSS to float the thumbnails so as you add, remove or resive the thumbs they auto fit to suit the space available... this would also probably do away with a lot of the tables and cells taking up the section layouts.

Lovely thanks

However, how can I leave the 1st page as 1 per row? I thought this could be done using Design > Options > Sections > Location and Arrangement of Top Level, but this seems to be making no difference or changes all the pages. Unless I am missing something vital?

I am having trouble getting search to work. Any suggestions?

Also we are using Nochex for our secure server. As they have no test server, there is no way we can view the acknowledgement/receipts that can br viewed when making a purchase etc.

Is there a template we can modify to make sure this works fine?

Please advise. If it helps we are nearly sorted. But as the deadline is next Monday, your prompt response is appreciated.

Many thanks and best regards

What are the problems with the search? Have you checked the search settings in View | Search Settings?

Is there a template we can modify to make sure this works fine?

I am afraid that will not be possible as Nochex should have a test server and or be able to recognise a test variable being passed to the server for you to be able to use a modified script or template. Maybe you can ask them to provide a test card number to check functionality of the service.

Kind regards,

You can set individual pages (sections) up against the section in Layout tab | Location and arrangement of Section List | Override default settings.

As for the receipt may be worth setting up temporarily the option to capture credit cards for later processing and doing a test purchase using 4444333322221111 as the card number to get the order through - remember to use your own email address for the customer receipt

There isn't an override default settings option under layouts or sections. Could it be that the top brochure page is my child protection policy?

Please could you clarify.

Many thanx & best regards

In the content tree click on the section and layout is the second tab - where you usually put the page title

[dharrison]

What template is the brochure page? Sorry to be a pain, but it looks slightly wrong.

Also Search results show 1st result on a different font to the rest. How do I go about changing this?

[Bruce]

Brochure page is Act_BrochurePrimary.html. For teh search results, you will have to look at ResultsTemplate.html. The fonts are generally controlled by actinic.css.

Kind regards,

[dharrison]

Sorry I got that wrong. I meant receipt/acknowledgement page

Yes, I have fallen out of the stupid tree.

Sorry guys.

[Bruce]

The receipt page is Act_Order04.html

OK mad question: How do I configure this page so it uses a spreadsheet?

This template is just a table of HTML. What I mean is theres no head or body tag etc.
